Curry under “consideration” to play against Chiefs

Linebacker Aaron Curry has made enough progress coming back from his sore knees that coach Dennis Allen is considering activating him and playing him against the Chiefs Sunday. Curry has been out this season on the Physically Unable to Play list but he is now eligible to return. He started practicing last week.

Curry played in 11 games at outside linebacker for the Raiders last season after being acquired from the Raiders for two late picks. Allen said Curry has been working out at all three linebacker spots the last two weeks.

Meanwhile, defensive tackle Desmond Bryant was back at practice Friday with a brace on his elbow, and Allen said he would “expect” Bryant to play Sunday.

Linebacker Travis Goethel is having some back spasms and is a new addition to the injury list, which now goes 20 players deep.
